No on Prop 8 update: Protesters take the weekend as misinformation hits the airwaves

This weekend tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets to demand equal marriage rights in California. From San Diego to Silverlake people of all walks of life came out against the initiative in an impressive (and overwhelmingly peaceful) statewide demonstration.

The LA Times did an extensive article on marches in the area. And SFGate took a look at demonstrations across the state.

Celebs did their part in standing up against the measure: at the Silverlake demonstration (one of the largest and longest), Noah's Arc's Darryl Stephens and Wilson Cruz were among the marchers. And also at Silverlake, Drew Barrymore addressed the marchers with a message of support, saying, "I will fight with you."

In a conservative county, an otherwise quiet lesbian couple spoke out against the injustice.

Meanwhile, Governor Schwarzenegger spoke out against the Prop 8 passage.

And Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council appeared on CNN claiming that "homosexual activists" had been rioting. Thankfully Anderson Cooper and his other guest were there to call him out on his lie. You can watch the video after the break.
